Having found themselves 2-0 down inside eight minutes at home
against Burnley following Marvin Sordell's fine strike and a
deflected Ross Wallace free-kick, Tottenham rallied to win 4-2 in
style at White Hart Lane during a pulsating third-round replay.

Paulinho and Etienne Capoue restored parity before two goals in
three second-half minutes from Vlad Chiriches - who took advantage
of an error from Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton – and Danny Rose set
up a tie with Leicester City next.

Joining Spurs in the next round are Southampton, who were 1-0
victors at Championship high-flyers Ipswich Town.

Shane Long made no mistake when Luke Chambers' tackle on
Harrison Reed pushed the ball into his path to net the only goal of
the game, although the win came at a cost as midfielder Victor
Wanyama hobbled off with what appeared to be a hamstring
injury.

Bradford dumped out Championship strugglers Millwall 4-0 to set
up a trip to Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Mark Beevers was sent off after just six minutes for bringing
down James Hanson as the last man and the Bradford striker quickly
made the London club pay at Valley Parade, netting two minutes
later with a header from Andy Halliday's corner.

Jon Stead made it 2-0 10 minutes later before players from both
sides were involved in a melee that eventually led to Bradford boss
Phil Parkinson being sent to the stands and a flurry of yellow
cards.

Halliday and Billy Knott were also on target as the League One
side - who reached the 2013 League Cup final - progressed in style,
piling the pressure on beleaguered Millwall and their under-fire
manager Ian Holloway.
